Can it be that the #MeToo movement has gotten a new champion, someone around whom women everywhere can rally?
That woman, who has yet to be identified, has told The Daily Beast that Republican U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker paid for her abortion, a charge that Walker denies; he says he doesn’t know anyone for whom he paid such a procedure.
Except that now she says she is the mother of one of Walker’s children.
Oops, Herschel.
The Daily Beast stands behind the reporting of this story. Walker’s Democratic opponent in Georgia, Sen. Raphael Warnock, reportedly is getting a significant polling bump as a result of the allegation leveled against Walker.
Feminist groups are rallying behind this woman, just as they did when other women accused Donald Trump of sexual assault or other public figures of similar attacks on them.
So, yes, the #MeToo movement appears to be getting new life.
As it should.
